CONGO OPPOSITION LEADER TO FILE ELECTION CHALLENGE

Congo opposition candidate Martin Fayulu announced on Friday he would file a court challenge to the presidential election results, while his coalition asserted he actually received 61 percent of the vote according to the findings of the influential Catholic Church’s election observers. The Catholic Church, the rare authority that many Congolese find trustworthy, has said its 40,000 election observers found a different winner from the official results but it has not given details.
